An iambic foot is consisted of two syllables -- I'm not quite sure what beats are, but they should be the same as syllables. Each iambic foot has an unstressed syllable followed by a stressed syllable, on which you naturally place more emphasis. An example of a line composed of a couple of iambic feet would be:
(Here the stressed syllables are in CAPS)
i HAVE to GRILL the STEAK toDAY.
So, in short, the answer is TWO.

A sonnet isn't defined in terms of beats. Its characteristic feature is being 14 lines long.

The Shakespearean sonnet is written in iambic pentameter (that is, each line has five feet in the order of unstressed-stressed syllables, for a total of 10 syllables per line).
